The County Reunion !
A Convention of Soldiers and Sons of
Veters, Saturday June. 18th, to
Make Arrangements!

The local organizationain the matter OF
a County Reunion has called meeting,
to be held at the Court House on Satur-
day, June 18th, for the purpose of consid-
ering the subject of a two days County
Reunion here, probably on Wednesday
and Thursday, September 21st and 22d.
1t is hoped that every Grand Army Post,
and every Regimental Organization, (or
representatives of such) in the county,
will send delegates to this meeting. There
is no restriction as to numbers This is a
county matter, and it is earnestly desired
| that soldiers in all parts of the county
shall take lively interest in the matter.
The aim is to make this the grandest
meeting of soldiers ever held in the
county, time of thorough enjoyment
and pleasant association. Local commit
tees already have in charge arrangements
for meeting the expenses of the affair.
Beautiful grounds will be secured, and
every possible arrangement made for the
enjoyment of all who attend.
The soldiers of other counties have
permanent county organizations, and we
should have such an organization here.
The hospitality of Jackson is unsurpassed,
and our citizens are becoming interested
in this matter. Now is good time to
take hold of this matter. 1t is possible
for us to have, this year, a Reunion that
will be an honor to the county, and joy
to all who attend. These are hundreds
of soldiers in the county, embracing men
from large number of regiments and
batteries. There should be- and doubtless
will be interested in the matter. The
Reunion is not to be the work of one
man, or a score of men; it is to be the
work of Jackson county. To this end,
let the soldiers begin work at once, in the
matter of creating an enthusiastic inter
est in the affair. Let every soldier in
Jackson county resolve that he will give
two days this year to the good work of
bringing the old boys together, reviving
old acquaintanceships, and making the
world better.
The Sons of Veterans Camps are earn
estly invited to send representatives to
the meeting on the 18th, and to get to
work at once, talking up the matter of
the County Reunion, and urging the
good people of the county to come. The
attendance of the Sons of Veterans is ex-
pected to be pleasant feature of the Re
union, and the old and young boys will
have great time together.
This Reunion will be condu ucted with
view to pleasing, and not W carrying, the
people. The exercises will of course be
varied. The speakers will be such as
will be intently listened to. We feel safe
in saying this much in advance. jack
son has peculiar advantages for this kind
of gathering. With our fine Band, and |
our great array of singers, splendid |
music is assured, while the arrangements |
will be upon an equally splendid footing. |
1t is earnestly hoped that every soldier
in the county will feel that he is specially
invited to act as committee of one in
working up an enthusiasm for the great
County Reunion. We feel justified in
that it will be the most enjoy
able meeting for soldiers and their
friends, ever held in the county. Come
to the meeting on the 18th! Prepare to
attend the Reunion!
